Three CWPA former/current
student-athletes were on the two benches in a 10-9 victory by
Brazil over the Republic of South Africa as former players Amaro
and Zablith competed for Brazil, while current Hawks'
student-athlete Dendy-Young was part of the South Africa
contingent.

For Brazil, the victory sets up a
meeting with anothter CWPA connection as Castle, an assistant coach
at Hartwick and the head coach of the Kazakhstan National Team,
guided his squad to a 14-13 victory over Uzbekistan.

Kazakhstan and Brazil will clash on
Monday, while South Africa will meet Uzbekistan in the next round
of competition.

In other action, former Hartwick
player Hudson did not score in a 14-6 loss by New Zealand to the
Netherlands, and Knox and Smith factored in a 10-9 victory by
Australia against Hungary.

Australia advances to Monday's
quarterfinals and a meeting with Italy, the silver medallist at
last month’s FINA World League Super Final, while New Zealand
will continue play versus Cuba.

One CWPA connection did not compete
as former University of Michigan standout and CWPA Hall of Fame
inductee Betsey Armstrong and the United States of
America National Team were off after earning a bye for winning
their bracket. The USA squad will face Russia on Monday in
the quarterfinals.

Out of the water, CWPA referee and
Mark Koganov (Azerbaijan), who is representing his
native Republic of Azerbaijan as a neutral referee
for the tournament, did not call a game in the most recent round of
competition. He is expected to receive an assignment for
Monday's slate of games.
